Mostly I write about the biology and evolution of life in the sea, mostly.

Science Week - Citizen Marine Science

This morning I went to the launch of Australia's National Science Week. One of the centerpieces of this year's activities is a citizen science project where volunteers will be able to help map the location of kelp and sea urchin populations and track how these organisms are responding to changes in the ocean. If you are interested in helping with these two projects all you need to do is visit Explore the Seafloor.
